If you want to transfer a domain name from one registrar company to another, you’ll have to pass through several safety steps. One of them is getting a unique EPP authentication code from the present registrar – as long as you are the domain registrant, since the code is emailed to the domain owner’s mailbox and no one else can see it. You will have to provide this code to the new registrar company, or else they will not be able to begin the domain name transfer procedure. The EPP authorization codes are case-sensitive and may contain numbers or special symbols such as dots or commas, which can be easily miswritten, so make sure you copy/paste the right code. As an additional safety measure, the transfer authorization code for a domain name may be changed on a regular basis. Certain registrars call this code a domain secret, a domain password or an Auth key as well.
EPP Transfer Protection in Cloud Hosting
If you have a domain name registered through us and you’ve got a cloud hosting account with us, getting its EPP authentication code is surprisingly easy. You will not need to log in and out of different interfaces, as you can administer all your domains via the very same Hepsia Control Panel, which is used to manage your hosting account. You’ll see all registered domain names once you log in and on the right side of the domain names whose extensions require an EPP authentication code in order to be transferred, you’ll see a tiny EPP icon. All it takes to get the code is to click the icon. The code is always sent to the domain name registrant’s email address, so in case the one that you shared at first is not valid anymore, you can edit it with several mouse clicks from the exact same section.
EPP Transfer Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a domain name under a semi-dedicated server account with us, you’ll be able to get its EPP transfer authorization code with just one mouse click, in case you decide to transfer it to another registrar company. All it takes to achieve that is to log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, to navigate to the Registered Domains section and to click on the EPP button, which will be next to the domain name. Of course, this button will be there only if the respective generic or country-code domain name extension supports transfers with an EPP code. Within 60 seconds, an email message that includes the code will be sent to the domain registrant’s email account associated with that domain name. You can edit the latter through the very same section of the Control Panel – in case the one that is presently listed in the WHOIS register isn’t valid. As the change will propagate without delay, you can request the EPP code immediately after that.
